Answer 1

To determine how many MP3 players Yoshi can buy with his $234, we need to know the price of each MP3 player. Since the price isn't provided, I will illustrate how to set up the equation using a variable for the price.

Let \( p \) be the price of each MP3 player. If \( n \) is the number of MP3 players Yoshi can buy, the equation can be expressed as:

\[ n \cdot p = 234 \]

To find \( n \), we can rearrange the equation:

\[ n = \frac{234}{p} \]

Now, we need the actual price \( p \) of an MP3 player to determine how many Yoshi can buy. If we assume a typical price range (for example, $30), we can calculate as follows:

1. If \( p = 30 \):
\[ n = \frac{234}{30} \approx 7.8 \]

Since Yoshi cannot buy a fraction of an MP3 player, he can buy 7 MP3 players.

2. If \( p = 40 \):
\[ n = \frac{234}{40} = 5.85 \]
Thus, he can buy 5 MP3 players.

3. If \( p = 50 \):
\[ n = \frac{234}{50} = 4.68 \]
Thus, he can buy 4 MP3 players.

To choose from the options you provided (7, 6, 5, or 3 MP3 players), you would need the specific price of the MP3 players to ultimately determine how many he can afford.

If you have a specific price for the MP3 player, please share it, and we can calculate the answer accurately!
